In broilers and layers, it is possible to see this problem.
Whenever I obtain the confirmation both clinically and in post-mortem,
I advise a treatment with CALCIUM GRIT in the feed plus VITAMIN AD3E in water.
I take a sample of the feed to check the level of CALCIUM.
The type of CALCIUM in the feed is important.
A mixture of COARSE + FINE calcium is advisable depending on the type of birds.

Since I started formulating my own feeds, I have observed that the leg problem I was experiencing with the broilers has reduced. I use DCP 18%. I use 2.5kg DCP to 490kg feed. The experts can advise as to whether this is the collect amount I use. Thanks for the educative article. Gedion Mutambo, Broiler Farmer.
